On behalf of the Educational Innovations unit of Academic and Student Affairs of Minnesota State, welcome to start of the 2019-2020 academic year!
In the digest this month, we are highlighting some upcoming opportunities available through the Network for Educational Development including a number of short courses and a series of opportunities to support our commitment to making sure our educational opportunities are accessible to all our learners.
Develop your knowledge, skills, and abilities with Short Courses
Have you attended a webinar or conference and introduced to an idea, concept, or strategy that you’d like to explore more deeply and figure out how to apply in real time in your courses? Are you looking for a structure to support your time and effort around the implementation of a particular idea?
Short courses may be the answer you’ve been looking for as they provide an excellent opportunity to build on and further develop knowledge, skills, and abilities. These courses focus on a specific topic and corresponding evidence-based practices to guide interested participants through activities that prepare them with the knowledge, skills, and abilities that will be applied directly to their own teaching.
Most short courses are offered online, last no more than 3 weeks, and require 5 hours a week to complete. All Minnesota State faculty and staff are eligible to participate in the free short course offered through the Minnesota State Network for Educational Development (NED).
